<p>This is a proximity chat service that I've tried.  <a href="https://spatial.chat/">https://spatial.chat/</a>  Ultimately, the trial was unsuccessful, but it's a different idea than a virtual office that persists where one might drop in to leave notes or schedule meetings.  The only concern that I would add is not letting the tool get in the way of the purpose for gathering.  That's likely a different consideration for social hours versus things like office hours or mentoring.</p>

<p>For those who are gamers this is true.  I think Meetup groups (there are a growing number of Rust specific monthly meetups) and Women Who Code leading mentoring and social gatherings outside a game construct are excellent examples of the options.  Building a game versus starting a Zoom call or discord voice chat would create a delay and effort burden that I think volunteers would rather avoid.  You are free to infer that this volunteer would be one of those avoiders.  <span aria-label="grinning face with smiling eyes" class="emoji emoji-1f601" role="img" title="grinning face with smiling eyes">:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:</span></p>

<p>(my comment was somewhat tongue-in-cheek, and of <em>course</em> there’s no reason to wait to do things like start Zoom calls or Discord voice chats. But the point you make remains a solid one: There is a significant population that <em>won’t</em> respond to gamification.)</p>

<p>Yeah, it sounds like effort into creating a space for social interaction is a separate thing from the mentoring program which would be best served by the least possible barriers to participation by people of various levels with some more easily intimidated than others.  It's a challenge to create a shared experience with everyone here for the models used by Women Who Code and Mentored Sprints.  I wish I could do that.  Open to suggestions.</p>
<p>It might surprise you to hear that even with the excellent Awesome Rust mentors list I've found a cold reach out to connect to be a barrier for me.</p>
